VB.NET is an entirely different language from VB6 and earlier. It is based on the .NET framework, which is a framework of various libraries, and is executed as IL (intermediate language) code by the JIT compiler or .NET runtime.

VB6 can be compiled directly to native code, or to p-code, which is similar in some ways to IL in that it is an intermediate language between a high-level language and machine code and can be interpreted on several different platforms.

There are several differences between .NET and non-.NET applications for obvious reasons, but I won't go into detail here.

As for the programming language itself, VB.NET is completely object-oriented; it is based on classes and inheritance. VB6 had some object-oriented features but was not an object-oriented language; rather, parts of OO were added to a language that was originally modular. VB.NET supports constructors and destructors, proper properties, has no control arrays, removed the keyword "Set" (and "Let") as it's used in VB6 because there are no more default properties in that sense, added inheritance, operator overloading and overloading in general... the changes are too many to list, really.
